Island ...............

I would point out that if I had wanted to "kick it off again", then I would have posted on one or other, or all, of the threads that had RR'd OPs and that seemed to be involved.

Instead, I wished to express MY disappointment, and yes distress, that it had all kicked off on a day when we should have been thinking about those who gave their lives so we could live in a free world ........... and think about them all day and all year, not just for 2 seconds or 30 minutes, or an hour.

I was expressing MY feelings ......... I had/have no idea what led up to whatever it was, nor did/do I wish to know. I could make an educated guess from the posts by Barbra and **Ann** on THIS thread. But I don't care about any of that ..............that's between the participants to sort out.


If you think that was waving the red flag ................. I can't help it!

I'm afraid I saw what happened.
Having a 'hissy fit' that can then be seen on the internet is hardly becoming :-S

I have to disagree I'm afraid, things hadn't "calmed", the people involved had just gone to bed!

As soon as it was seen that the whole thread/s had been removed it would have kicked off again in 'our time' with or without Sylvia mentioning it .

I don't know the specific background of what led to all the reported posts, I didn't see all of them either, ( bar the one that was probably the opening salvo) but I have seen the pattern any number of times.

Edit x posted, but agree with Sylvia and Maggie, and I am pretty sure Sylvia will have remembered a previous thread from some years ago as I did immediately.

In that case, Sylvia and Rose, all I can say is - with the 'benefit' of previous encounters - I was merely attempting to prevent another flare up. I most certainly was not suggesting members outside of the UK shouldn't post or that anyone was attempting to aggravate the issue.
